Good Practice
To foster and encourage high standards of corporate governance, professional conduct and good communications and relations between investors, companies and their advisers.
Expert forumTo act as an expert forum for the EIS, providing information and technical knowledge and generally helping to make the Scheme more accessible to all interested parties and particularly to companies seeking funding, and potential investors and their advisers.
Lobbying
To represent the views of sponsors, scheme arrangers and accountants in seeking to lobby Government departments, the Treasury, HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs), MPs and key opinion formers with a view to improving and simplifying the EIS and generally making it more understandable and user-friendly.

- sponsors, promoters and corporate financiers.
- professional advisers, principally accountants and lawyers.
